2008 Sea Ray 48 Sundancer

Essex, Connecticut

$525,000

You are fortunate to have arrived at "PATRIOT"! Do not consider purchasing any Sea Ray 480 Sundancer without first personally inspecting this yacht as she is truly exceptional! She has been very well maintained by her experienced and conscientious owners and it shows. Moored in the fresh/brackish waters of the Connecticut River in Essex CT.
Bold and innovative styling has been a Sundancer trademark for many years, an assertion that few marine industry pros would likely dispute. That was certainly in evidence in 2008 with the introduction of the 48 Sundancer, a remarkably handsome hardtop cruiser whose sweeping lines and distinctive hullside ports reset the styling standard for boats in her class. Built on a beamy deep-V hull with a solid fiberglass bottom and prop pockets to reduce shaft angles, the opulent two-stateroom interior of the 48 Sundancer is a sophisticated blend of high-gloss cherry cabinets, Ultraleather seating, hardwood floors and designer galley appliances. Both staterooms are private, and the forward head is split with the toilet and sink to port and the shower to starboard. A 26' flat-screen TV/ DVD is standard in the salon, and the aft head has a separate stall shower. The 48's sleek fiberglass hardtop-which shades a good part of the cockpit-includes dual power sunroofs as well as power side windows. An optional hydraulic swim platform can support a dinghy. Cruise in the low 20s with 540hp Cummins V-drive diesels 28-29 knots top. The gorgeous curves and aerodynamic profile of the 48 Sundancer are sure to attract attention. Outfitted with a unique, electric windshield vent system that allows for an unbroken line from deck to roof plus a sleek hardtop with two large hatches, this ingeniously designed beauty is nothing short of inspired.
